Lake Wind Advisory


... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT this
evening...

A lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT this
evening.

A very tight pressure gradient will persist across the entire
four state region through this evening as a very strong upper
level low pressure system moves east across the Mississippi River
this afternoon. This will result in west northwest winds of 15 to
25 mph... with gusts to 35 mph. These gusty winds should begin to
subside after sunset as this storm system departs the area.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause rough chop
on area lakes. Small boats will be especially prone to capsizing.
